  • Twitter’s value in freefall: Fidelity cuts estimate by whopping 79%

    Who would have thought that platforming actual Nazis would be bad for business?

  • Tesla Full Self Driving requires human intervention every 13 miles

    “These failures are the most insidious. But there are also continuous failures of simple programming inadequacy, such as only starting lane changes toward a freeway exit a scant tenth of a mile before the exit itself, that handicaps the system and casts doubt on the overall quality of its base programming,“ https://arstechnica.com/cars/2024/09/tesla-full-self-driving-requires-human-intervention-every-13-miles/

  • Godfather of AI Says Elon Musk Is Lying About Self-Driving Teslas

    Yann LeCun, the so-called “Godfather of AI” who currently serves as Meta’s AI czar, accused the billionaire of lying “again and again” about when fully-automated Teslas would arrive. “Elon: ‘I’ve kept lying to you again and again about Tesla’s ‘Full Self Driving’ capabilities for the last 8 years,” the AI aficionado wrote, “‘but you should…

  • Cards Against Humanity is suing SpaceX for trespassing on its ‘pristine’ property

    Cards Against Humanity claims SpaceX also offered to buy Cameron County property. “Elon Musk’s SpaceX was building some space thing nearby, and he figured he could just dump all his shit all over our gorgeous plot of land without asking,” the company wrote on a website announcing its lawsuit. “After we caught him, SpaceX gave us a…

  • The Tesla Workers Dealing With Autopilot Data Are Treated So Strangely You Won’t Believe It

    With new headlines cropping up all the time showing how poorly a job Tesla Autopilot actually does at piloting cars, it’s not surprising that the people tasked with building that system’s knowledge out are underpaid and heavily surveilled — or that when they tried to fight back against what they felt was unfair treatment, they were summarily cast aside. https://futurism.com/the-byte/tesla-autopilot-workers-treatment

  • Elon Musk and others urging people to have more kids are essentially calling for a Ponzi scheme, experts say

    “Seen this way, pronatalism is a Ponzi scheme,” Merchant and Brown wrote. “It relies on new entrants to produce returns for earlier investors, with the burdens falling most heavily on women, who are responsible for the bulk of childbearing and child-rearing, often without adequate medical care or affordable child care.” https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk-others-urging-people-175223302.html

  • Musk boosts 4chan claim that women are incapable of critical thinking

    Fuck me, that man is dumb… one commenter remarked, “I love how he’s so stupid that he believes saying ‘interesting observation’ gives him some sort of plausible deniability.”

  • Not the Onion: Telsa FSD doesn’t even work in a tunnel

    Even more… it doesn’t even work in a tunnel that Telsa has full environmental control of. Forget open roads. Tesla still hasn’t figured out how to get its vehicles to autonomously drive through Elon Musk’s tunneling venture The Boring Company’s single-lane tunnel. https://futurism.com/the-byte/tesla-full-self-driving-doesnt-work-tunnel So explain to me why this fucker is allowed to put this…

  • “They’re such NPCs” — Why Elon Musk thinks you’re not real

    There’s little doubt Musk is a narcissist and a sociopath, but his ramped up use of NPC makes me suspect he’s a solipsist, too. He’s the protagonist in a world where others are simply programmed responses, not thinking, feeling individuals. This fits neatly with his belief that our universe is a computer simulation. Musk happens to…

  • Roundup: Elon Musk is a terrible person

    I’ve been a critic of Musk since long before it was popular for people in media. It was obvious long before his acquisition of Twitter that Musk was a bad person who mistreated his partners, his workers, and was selling a false persona to the public. But far too few people would call it out…
